The Swedish King's Rally is this year organized for the 13th time, of which twelve of them have been arranged in Borgholm. The royal couple have agreed to attend, and according to Kjell Gehammar, who is in charge of the Rally, the king has been extremely careful that the rally has to be with and extend the tourist season on Öland.
- He is very much concerned. The first suggestion was to have the Rally in early August, but it was too early, the king thought. He wants to look after the season on Öland.

The royal couple's hectic schedule in New York
The King and Queen are in New York.
But because of the busy schedule, there is no visit to the daughter, Princess Madeleine.
During the weekend, the King and Queen attend a dinner and a board meeting at the World Scout Foundation in New York, USA.
Then, on Monday and Tuesday, they visits the UN for deeper information about the work of the Security Council. In addition, the royal couple will be informed about Sweden's work with children and armed conflict with meetings with representatives of the UN and Sweden's UN delegation.
- They will not have so much free time but probably a few hours here and there, but then it's private, says Margareta Thorgren.
On Monday morning, the King and Queen meet the Security Council, which will tell, among other things, developments in the Middle East. In the afternoon, they will visit the Folke Bernadotte bust inside the UN building.
Later, they have a meeting with ambassador of Sweden to UN Olof Skoog and ambassador of Norway to UN Tore Hattrem, as well as with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
Princess Madeleine lives in Florida. However, the busy schedule means that the king and queen can not meet their daughter during this trip.
- It's not going to happen at this moment, said Margareta Thorgren.

Photos from Monday, among others from the meeting with Secretary-General António Guterres
When the King and Queen visited the UN Headquarters in New York on Monday, they had a special request:
They wanted to see the bust of the King's godfather.
- It has been the royal couple themselves who asked to do this, says Anne-Sofie Näslund, Expressen's correspondent in New York
The King and Silvia are on a visit in New York. The official reason for the trip is a visit to the United Nations headquarters in Manhattan, where the royal couple participated in a meeting of the Security Council during Monday. On the agenda, was the situation in the Middle East.
However, on the way to the meeting, the royal couple had asked to make a stop to the UN lobby, to see the famous bust of Folke Bernadotte.
- Queen Silvia has previously stayed at the bust when she was in New York. She asked her reporters to take a picture of her next to it, says Anne-Sofie Näslund.
Folke Bernadotte was cousin of Gustaf VI Adolf and also godfather of the king.

King Carl Gustaf delivered today the Seraphim Medal, H.M. The King's medal and Litteris et Artibus at a ceremony in Lovisa Ulrika's dining room at the Royal Palace. Queen Silvia attended too.
The author and psychologist Hédi Fried who survived Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen received the Seraphim Medal from the King for her efforts in the fight for democracy and human values.
The Seraphim medal is presented for outstanding services of a humanitarian nature or of general benefit to society. The medal is the oldest reward or medal of merit and is the only medal whose king portraits are not replaced on the throne changes. Therefore, it bears King Fredrik I's picture. The Seraphim Medal is distributed very sparingly.

On Wednesday, February 13, the King unveiled a portrait bust depicting August Strindberg in the Bernadotte Library at the Royal Palace. The Queen also attended the ceremony.
The portrait bust is a gift to the Bernadotte library from Karl-Magnus Fredriksson, who was appointed as the court singer by the King in 2004 and is also active as a sculptor.
Before the King uncovered the bust, he said:
"I hope it will serve as a reminder to all our visitors; both about the library's exciting history and about the rich Swedish heritage that it is part of.”
Karl-Magnus Fredriksson told about the sculpture and his work with it. During the ceremony, he performed three romances together with pianist Mattias Böhm.

I've said it before, but I feel its worth repeating that handing out the award to Hédi Fried was, in my opinion, a very good decision by the King.
